VLAN Configuration Menu
The VLAN Configuration Menu screen (Figure 3-8) allows you to select the
appropriate screen to configure up to 64 VLANs (VLAN 1 is port-based, by
default). You can configure as many as 63 protocol-based VLANs, with up to 15
different protocols. The number of different protocols you can configure depends
on the number of hexidecimal values (PID values) associated with the protocol
type (some protocol types use more than one PID value, see Table 3-9
on
page 3-28
).
When you create VLANs, you can assign various ports (and therefore the devices
attached to these ports) to different broadcast domains. Creating VLANs increases
network flexibility by allowing you to reassign devices to accommodate network
moves, additions, and changes, eliminating the need to change physical cabling.
See “IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Workgroups” on page 1-32 for detailed information
about configuring VLANs.
Choose VLAN Configuration (or press v) from the Switch Configuration Menu
screen to open the VLAN Configuration Menu.
Note:
The BayStack 410-24T switch ports do not have the ability to assign
incoming untagged frames to a protocol-based VLAN (see
Gigabit Ports and
BayStack 410-24T Switch Ports Restriction” on page 3-30).
